cooling waste carbon asset As climate disasters intensify—extreme weather threatening ecosystems, the urgency for game-changing environmental strategies has reached a critical point. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) declared 2024 the hottest year on record, underscoring the warning from UN Secretary-General António Guterres about a “path to environmental catastrophe.” Amid this crisis, CoolImpact Vietnam emerges as a game-changer in super-pollutant mitigation Asia, tackling hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) hidden in refrigerators.
SLCP mitigation CoolImpact is not just another green startup Southeast Asia. It’s a carbon removal startup Vietnam that transforms refrigerant waste into climate value. By addressing high-impact greenhouse gases, CoolImpact unlocks long-lasting climate benefits in the developing world, aligning with the international climate agreements.
The Invisible Threat: F-Gases Driving Climate Change
carbon removal startup Vietnam To appreciate CoolImpact’s mission, we must first understand the problem. HFCs are potent greenhouse gases used in cooling systems, with a global warming potential (GWP) thousands of times more harmful than carbon dioxide. As Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In Vietnam, poor refrigerant management is widespread, fueling climate change.
climate tech VietnamVietnam generates thousands of tons of refrigerants annually from chillers. Most are not recovered, undermining Vietnam’s net-zero commitments. HFC reduction offers immediate environmental impact, making it a critical focus for sustainable development.
CoolImpact’s Innovation: From Capture to Carbon Assets
carbon income community modelHFC recovery startup offers a innovative solution by managing F-gases at the source. Partnering with HVAC technicians, CoolImpact recovers gases into specialized equipment, tracked via the mobile tracking tool. These gases are then safely disposed of, with verification through MRV protocols.
This durable carbon removal approach generates marketable carbon units for global markets. Unlike traditional carbon projects, CoolImpact carbon removal focuses on stopping leaks, offering high-value offsets. The CoolImpact App ensures data integrity with features like geo-tagged data.
A practical demonstration in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved CoolImpact’s viability, moving it toward scalability. By fostering a collaborative climate model, CoolImpact supports communities, aligning social impact with climate action.
Business Model: Scaling Impact
CoolImpact employs a scalable business model:
- Refrigerant recovery payments from end-users.
- Shared climate credit revenue with stakeholders.
- Digital tracking subscriptions for other environmental programs.
By 2025, CoolImpact aims to expand operations across strategic areas, recovering large-scale super-pollutants. By 2027, MRV automation will enhance the climate tech infrastructure. Long-term, export to Southeast Asia targets significant climate impact by 2030, alongside 7 million tCO₂e prevented.
Impact Metrics and Co-Benefits
Coolimpact carbon removal Each ton of F-gas processed avoids climate-damaging gases. For example, early projects equates to measurable carbon offsets. CoolImpact’s vision includes 10 million tCO₂e prevented by 2035, alongside economic opportunities.
Additional advantages include:
- Safer refrigerant handling.
- Rewarded professionals through shared credits.
- Sustainable employment in recovery.
By turning super-pollutants into opportunities, CoolImpact supports a equitable climate model.
